Inha University graduate students majoring in “circular economy and environmental systems” participated in an education program at the GrAT (Center for Appropriate Technology) TU Wien in Austria as scholarship recipients of the Guwon Foundation. Through a one-week program of lectures, practical exercises, experiences, and discussions, participants had the opportunity to acquire knowledge on various topics and broaden their perspectives. Through the interaction with nature, they were able to understand the need for sustainability and experience how to implement it in their daily lives. For the organisers, it was an opportunity to check the acceptability and effectiveness of their planning intentions through the pilot round.
